As Ian already has told you (but apparently you didn't pay attention to), your expires is wrong. So if your cookies disappear you should get this right first.

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
expiretime = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(days=365)

cookie["ID"]["expires"] = expiretime.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT")
